Denton Nebbiolo 2019 750ml

The Denton View vineyard is unusual in the Yarra Valley. The hulking granite boulders just under the surface of the vineyard are unique for the region.

Luke Lambert believes the Denton View Hill vineyard has the potential to make one of the country's best Nebbiolos. The combination of the aspect of the vineyard, the lean granitic soils and the long hang time in the Yarra Valley all adding up to huge potential for the site. The fruit from the site is split 50/50 between Luke Lambert's own label and the Denton View Hill label.

The major difference being Luke's use of very large format oak for his, as opposed to the 29-year-old 500L puncheons used for Denton. It's a wine for the Nebbiolo lovers.
Mostly classically styled but with a hint of new world influence. The palate is ripe and beautifully brought back into focus by the wine's refreshing acidity and grippy yet fine tannins. Finishes ferrous and long. 96 points.
